Final Fantasy XV goes Gold!

Square Enix Ltd., today announced that Final Fantasy® XV has gone gold. To mark this production milestone, a new CG cinematic trailer, entitled “Omen” released today. Eagle-eyed viewers will see that this dynamic new trailer also celebrates the game’s gold status in a unique way.

Omen is a conceptual CG cinematic trailer created by the world-renowned 3D animation studio DIGIC Pictures, who also worked on KingsGlaive: Final Fantasy® XV. Noctis negotiates a rapidly shifting world, endless waves of enemies, a gradual loss of abilities and a madness that brings harm to his beloved fiancée. Inspired by the world and story of Final Fantasy® XV, the trailer depicts a nightmarish “omen” for Noctis’ father King Regis, of a catastrophic future that must be avoided.

With Final Fantasy® XV going gold, development now moves towards creating the Season Pass and DLC that will provide further content and ways to enjoy Final Fantasy® XV into the year ahead. The main focus of the Season Pass are three original episodes that take place during the events of Final Fantasy® XV. Each episode features one of Noctis’ best friends as the playable character in an all-new adventure that offers unique play styles tailored to each friend. Episode Gladiolus is the first new character adventure to arrive and will be followed by Episode Ignis and Episode Prompto. Each episode will also be available for purchase individually.

Following the individual character episodes is Comrades; an expansion pack for Final Fantasy® XV that offers a brand new online co-op mode for up to 4-players, allowing teams to take full control of Noctis, Gladiolus, Ignis and Prompto as a group. Comrades will be available for purchase separately and is included in the Season Pass. These additional contents and episodes are managed by Haruyoshi Sawatari (Producer, Business Division 2) and overseen by Final Fantasy® XV Director Hajime Tabata with development led by core members of the Final Fantasy® XV team.

Last year I traveled around the world and attended many game events. I felt an amazing passion and sense of expectation towards Final Fantasy® XV from series fans everywhere, from seeing that I really wanted to make it so that the fans could enjoy the game for longer and evolve and expand it even further. I will take these feelings and give them form, to deliver an amazing experience.

I pretty much started gaming on Famicom! For those who didnt survive the flood on the ark with Noah, this was an 1980's 8-bit console using interchangeable cartridges. (Google it, it will blow your mind!). From there things got a bit more hardcore, and I started playing DOS-Based games, (Again...google is your friend.) and that progressed through Windows 3.1, until the present where I enjoy intense graphics, captivating story-lines, alternate endings and mind-numbing grinds on both PS4 and Windows PC. Other hobbies include DJ'ing House, Progressive, Trance, Tech and Minimal. I love watching Anime, my favorite shows are Naruto, Bleach and Sword Art Online. Epic, I know.
